DICK KERNEN . . . THOUGHTS and WELL WISHES!
Motor City Radio Flashbacks would like to extend continued well wishes to Dick Kernen, who was hospitalized when this photo was taken a month ago.
We hope at this time Dick is now home fully recovered and is today well and back on his feet. 🙂
We missed not seeing him as well at the Last Detroit Radio Reunion event, September 14!

ABC RADIO The Breakfast Club WXYZ 1270
Fran Allison, Don McNeill, Dick Noel, Betty Johnson and the show’s humorous Sam Cowling. The Breakfast Club was a long-run morning variety show on NBC Blue Network/ABC radio (and briefly on television) originating in Chicago, Illinois.
Hosted by Don McNeill (right), the radio program ran from June 23, 1933 through December 27, 1968.
McNeil’s 35½-year run as host remains the longest tenure for an M.C. of a network entertainment program, surpassing Johnny Carson (29½ years) on The Tonight Show and Bob Barker (34? years) on The Price is Right.
